| Welcome to 2010...

 Greetings from the future! Well, it certainly FEELS like the future as we begin the year "twenty-ten". Weren't we supposed to have flying cars by now? ;) AbbyShot is so happy to keep providing you with the latest in futuristic clothing, and you will play a huge part in what we create this year. In January we always plan out upcoming new designs but we can't do it without your help. We've made a quick survey to judge what's important to you, so read on for that! January is also a time when AbbyShot customers send us their thoughts and photos from the Christmas season. It's always interesting, always fun, and (trust us) you don't want to miss it!

| The Time Lords Have Spoken! |
 This past holiday season was an unforgettable one for Doctor Who fans. The Tenth Doctor passed the torch to the Eleventh in an emotional two-part special. Meanwhile, many Doctor Who fans were on the happier end of the emotional spectrum - when they received their new Tenth Doctor's Coats!Here are some excerpts from emails we've received: You guys have done an excellent job producing a unique and eye catching garment. As a long time Doctor Who fan, this is one of the best (and most practical) collectables from the show I've ever had.- Christian, CanadaI wore my new Tenth Doctor coat when I went out tonight. The coat attracted a lot of positive attention. It fit great and looked and felt wonderful. I'm very happy with it.- Christopher, USAI love this 10th Doctor Coat I ordered from you!
You guys n girls rule!- Sam, UKThank you for all the reviews and thank you Sam for the "Christmas Special" styled photo above. Upload your own photo today using the AbbyShot Map page! The Doctor's Coat is so in-demand that most sizes are out of stock now, with ALL sizes of the Tenth Doctor's Coat back in early February. However, the Martha Jones Jacket IS in-stock now in all sizes and ready to ship to you!You too can carry on the Tenth Doctor's legacy at:

Browncoats Loving the New Browncoat!
|
Lots of AbbyShot customers have said the word "Shiny!" this past month, and they're not talking about gold or diamonds. It's way better than that - they're talking about the Mal Reynolds Browncoat!
Here are just a few samples of what Browncoats are saying:

It's so beautifully real, it is Mal's coat. The details are stunning.

The coat was delivered today just after I got home from work, so I grabbed my holster and pistol to try the coat on. :-)
Many thanks for a great coat!
- Steve, UK
Thanks for the wonderful emails all, and special thanks to Steve for the great photo on the right. Keep the pics coming folks!

Stay Tuned to "The Signal"
|
Speaking of Browncoats, AbbyShot team member Mark was interviewed by the shiny folks at "The Signal" podcast. It's an online radio show devoted to anything and everything related to the Firefly / Serenity 'Verse, along with other works by the man himself, Joss Whedon (including Dollhouse and Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog).  The AbbyShot interview will be in the first episode of season 6 (premiering later in January) and covers the genesis of AbbyShot's officially licensed Browncoat, future Serenity products that may or may not be in the works, and what Serenity means to the crew here at AbbyShot. For all the info on downloading or subscribing to their podcasts:

| Customer E-mails - Post-Christmas Edition |
 January is always a fun month for AbbyShot because we love receiving your Christmas photos. This time, we focus on two Canadian customers who each had an AbbyShot Christmas.
